we were told Derek would never walk, but we all believed he
COULD and WOULD! With determination, support, and an unwaivering
focus Derek did walk! Thank you Derek for teaching me to never let your
circumstance keep you down! Let us celebrate all we have accomplished
this year and stay focused on the learning goals we have left to achieve
so that we, like Derek, may finish strong!

This is our message board that greets students each day with a
new motivational message! Upon entering the classroom the students
must read the message aloud to me and follow its directions through
the entire day! On Friday March 23rd this is the message awaiting them!

Practicing for the MAP test! We can't wait to show all we have learned this year!

It's digital learning day! Happy digital
learning day! Here at Ponderosa Elementary
our students have wholeheartedly embraced
the technology and seamlessly incorporated
it into our daily learning! So get inspired and go get your tech on!

We love our ipad and are using it daily to help reinforce
critical concepts like, math fact fluency! The tech tool is so
popular a few students decided they needed to make a sign-up
chart to ensure fair and equal access!
How's that for real-world learning with a purpose!
